Timon of Athens

Highly recommended! Arrives on stage bearing the star power of actor Ian McDiarmid...

Chicago Sun-Times

The Play

In a high-risk world of quick profits and borrowed luxury, Timon is a god among men. But can this titan survive when the tides of fortune turn? From performances with the Royal Shakespeare Company and on Broadway to the Star Wars film series and beyond, internationally celebrated actor Ian McDiarmid was brilliantly matched to the challenging role of Timon. And Artistic Director Barbara Gaines' gripping new production featured the kind of inventive staging and electrifying performances that always makes an evening at Chicago Shakespeare one to remember.
